There most definitely will be one. I would assume it will be released before the movie is, but there has been no word of a date yet. Well, not as far as I know. Updated On: 6/20/05 at 07:14 PM
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

anyone else find it hard to call it a soundtrack? My first instinct is to yell IT'S CAST RECORDING!! haha, but nope this is really going to be a RENT soundtrack. Just really odd to say it.
Can't wait for it though! Anything Anthony is a must have.

It can be called a soundtrack - or movie cast album.
Movie cast album is what it really is. Because its the cast of the movie who record the songs sung in the movie. A soundtrack is basically just a bunch of songs heard in a movie thrown together on a CD.
My question would be, will there be a new song written for the musical, as has been the case with a number of movie musicals, to make it qualify for a "Best Song" Academy Award? It's not the case with all musicals but has been done for some. And if there is a new song, who will write it?
"Smart! And into all those exotic mystiques -- The Kama Sutra and Chinese techniques. I hear she knows more than seventy-five. Call me tomorrow if you're still alive!"
it is a soundtrack. Soundtracks are from movies and this is a movie even though it contains vocals.sorry just had to put my 2 cents worth in... ^_^
Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.
Well whatever the hell it's called, I can't wait for it to come out. Alot of the times, soundtracks are released before the movie for marketing, advertising etc so hopefully they'll do the same with RENT and we won't have to wait til November. *crosses fingers*
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

pab - I ***HIGHLY*** doubt it. 'Rent' isn't being made to win Oscars. It's being made to preserve Jonathan Larson's story and a major contemporary hit musical onto film.

Anyone know if they kept the show set in 1995 or "updated" it to 2005? I read that they were adding the subject of gay marriage, so I wondered if the date of the show had changed.
As far as I know, the show has kept its original plot date and hasn't been changed to 2005. Don't quote me on that though, but I'm pretty sure its still set in the early 90s. Or it might even be 80s....I remember reading about it somewhere......

While I'd love to say that I'm going to wait until after I see the movie to buy the soundtrack [you're right; it does sound weird,] just so that I don't spoil anything, I don't think I have that kind of willpower.
Most movies release a soundtrack (and I just taught myself not to sang that word) up to a month ahead of the movie's due date. Possibly an October release?
